This luxe lovely is already dressed for the holidays. Bare Escentuals bareMinerals loose shadow fans, the new limited edition Oh La Luxe holiday kit, available now at Sephora stores and also online ($79), wouldn’t even need wrapping paper to look good under the tree.

I’ll post swatches of these soon, but let me know what you think. The price ($79) works out to about $5 per piece, including the carrying case. Doesn’t seem bad.

And how do you feel about bareMinerals’ loose powders? I like many of their colors and how much pigment they have, but whenever I use them I always make a mess (which may say more about me than the powders).

So far, 31 people have commented on this article. How cool is that?

I absolutely love BE eye and cheek products, so I’m really looking forward to your reivew. I find that case so useful, especially as a makeup case for a weekend getaway or something! I’m hoping to eventually review this set as well!

I don’t like loose shadows in general because of the fallouts. You can foil them by applying them wet or with a mixing medium or even Mac fix+ to control the fallouts, but I don’t like working “extra” to make a product work because I’m lazy, but I will still wait for your swatch post because I love seeing eyeshadow swatches. =)Joyce recently posted … Eyeshadow Swatches & Comparisons: L’oreal Wear Infinite Eyeshadow Duo in 862 Bronze Star

I have a bag exactly like that by Sonia Kashuk and the layers are awesome! The top section has a plasticy type thing covering the brushes though. It’s not this same print but it’s this bag http://soniakashuk.com/sk-MTA_prod.php?sk=318. Super awesome for travel.

I gave up on loose powders ages ago (too messy), but one of the shadows I’ve held onto and still use is Celestine. It is SUCH a gorgeous shade. Lights up the whole eye area. And, that bag looks pretty great, too.

I have some BE eyeshadows. The more neutral and subtle colors lasting power is good but the brighter colors like Azure when freshly applied looked beautiful but the color tended to fade on me in less than an hour! And that’s even with a primer (Two Face Shadow Insurance)!!

I really LOVE Bare Minerals. I don’t mind the loose powders. I’ve learned to work with them without making a mess. This years Holiday items look wonderful! Wish I could splurge on one of them but no can do : (

Loose color always looks so luxurious to me. There’s something mystical about it that puts the fun back in makeup. I don’t mind making a mess with loose shadows or pigments because the result is usually gorgeous. And cleanup isn’t too bad. But I’ll be the first to admit it is easier to work with loose blushes than loose eye shadows. I always use a base with the shadows, which helps so much. I can’t wait to read your review!

They are pretty and seem like a good value. However, I am not a fan of loose eye shadows. Too messy and end up not being so great a value because the amount of product you lose!Christy recently posted … Mat Lumiere vs. Perfection Lumiere
